Fishing Bronte this Saturday wondering about depth and what they are keying in on. Going to run some meat spoons and plugs. Probably start 60-70 ft move out deeper of they aren't there? That sound right? Any advice? Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
All I can say is that we trolled spoons, glow spoons and glow lymans in and around Meaford all day and close to dark and soon as I switched to herring strips on the rigger it fired within 15-20 minutes. Went out the next day same deal lymans and spoons saw somebody netting a fish on a flasher switched to meat fish released from the rigger for me.

Wondering what would be the best way to set these, facing backward our downrigger is on the left side and it has a rod holder, there is a built in holder right behind the downrigger closest to the back of the boat that is where I normally put my rigger rod, which plate setting should I be using so that my dipsey angles as far out left as possible just to keep away from the downrigger rod, and when the dipsey fires should I pull the rigger up or just fight the fish off to the side. The 2nd dipsey can run off the opposite side no problem. I had success on herring or Huron kings last weekend Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Ok I will keep that in mind, going to run 2 rods on our 1 rigger than a dipsey more than likely. I am thinking I'll do about 15 ft in between on the cable and one 10 ft further of a leader and I shouldn't see any tangles. Thanks man. Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Alright thanks man, I'm going to try with a swivel for this weekend to start with but if I can't get anything I will take your word I'm starting to trust the Alberto more and more. 3 days of fishing I hope I can have some luck I have about 12 ft of leader on my swivel so I think that should do it but if not I'm making some adjustments.

This will be my first time running a meat rig I we get one out, any suggestions are appreciated though man! Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Ok sweet thanks man, how long of a leader of fluoro from your braid to lure? With a swivel or connection knot Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I am thinking that because of my lack of rods the most effective way for me to make my spread is to doublestack my downrigger with 2 lines and a leadcore other side. The reel I would like to use has 30 pound braid on it. My cannonball is 10 pounds and I would typically run a 30-50 foot lead behind the canonball. I have it rigged up with a swivel and a 12 foot lead of 20 pound fluoro. Looking for lake Huron kings but this would apply to Ontario too. Any suggestions to improve not spooking fish?

I would think there would be more scent in the wild unfrozen shiners, I'll have to give it a try then. Huge king! Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I know this is a forum for more Lake O fishing, but I have a theory. Since the main food source on lake Huron is emerald shiners, does anyone know how I would do if I were to catch some creek shiners that I like to use for pike and bass, but after they died I would cut them up and run them on the meat rig. They are pretty hefty sized and they stink like Chinook that's for sure. Sent from my LM-Q620 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I never though of it like this, the way I think of doing it is putting the mono in and then tying the knot but pulling the entire leader through before I could sinch it, going to have to try that, thanks!
